...he world's longest chain of barrier islands on the equatorial coast of Brazil, where spring tides reach seven meters. Orrin Pilkey, Emeritus Professor of Geology at Duke University, explained: "This provides proof that barrier islands exist in every climate and in every tide-wave combination. We found that everywhere there is a flat piece of land next to the coast, a reasonable supply of sand, enough waves to move sand or sediment about, and a recent sea-level rise that caused a crooked shorelin...

... the ground and needing a global solution, at the same time as Politicians comment that finance "...is a global crisis that requires a global solution," (Democrat Barack Obama and many Republicans, and many politicians around the world). It all follows the global warming/climate change furore that we have been told for several years demands a global solution also. Keep watching this space for Global government announcement. (Ref. Banking, atmosphere, 666)

...ncrease in Antarctic sea are one reason why some researchers are claiming recent global warming has peaked and is now on a downturn. As the amount of carbon dioxide and other gases released by human activity have not suddenly decreased the change in climate cannot be explained in terms of human industry, which means that the recent warming cycle wasn’t due to human activity either. Instead, warming and cooling are part of the cycles of climate change given as a warning to Noah in Genesis 8:22 th... Click here for more...

... Tennessee urging him to veto a bill passed by both houses of the Tennessee State legislature that allowed teachers to present “scientific strengths and scientific weaknesses” of issues that “may cause debate and disputation, including evolution and climate change”. Leshner wrote: “There is virtually no scientific controversy among the overwhelming majority of researchers on the core facts of evolution and climate change, and these subjects should not be taught as if there were such a controvers...

...cel Visser of the Netherlands Institute of Ecology and colleagues have studied data on breeding habits of great tits living in a Netherlands national park from the past 32 years to see if the birds could vary their breeding habits with variations in climate. Most of the birds did not change their breeding habits, but some birds appeared to be tuned in to climate variation and laid their eggs earlier in warm Springs and later in cool Springs. These adaptable birds had more surviving offspring tha... Click here for more...

...ice along the coast of Alaska than in 1979, and asked did we read about this in the media? We hadn’t. Did you? Our colleague went on to comment: "Polar bears should have no problem at all".

...efore atmospheric CO2 began to increase," wrote Geology Prof Don Easterbrook (2 Nov 2008), for Global Research. Easterbrook is Professor Emeritus of Geology at Western Washington University, Bellingham (USA) and has correlated historical records of climate cycles with data from the Greenland Ice Core, the Pacific and North Atlantic Oscillations and sunspots, and predicatively concludes the earth is entering a period of cooling that could last almost 30 years. Easterbrook's work was published by... Click here for more...

...ing off - I'm talking 100km or 200km long - every 10 or 20 or 50 years." Allison also said there was no indication the Antarctic ice cap was melting. Furthermore, studies of ice cores from near Davis Station in East Antarctica taken by the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems Co-Operative Research Centre reveal the ice is also thicker. Last year, the ice had a maximum thickness of 1.89m, its densest in 10 years. The average thickness of the ice at Davis since the 1950s is 1.67m. These changes show t... Click here for more...

...ED. COM. A “generally flattened latitudinal temperature gradient” means temperatures over the world were more even than they are now. This means when the polar regions are warm enough for life, the equatorial regions are not too hot for life, as the climate alarmists would want people to assume. At present Antarctica and the high Arctic regions are uninhabitable, but think how much more of the earth would be available to live in if they were warm enough for trees and other vegetation to grow.

ANTICREATIONIST PLIMER might be right about cosmic rays and climate. In his book, Heaven and Earth geologist Ian Plimer claims that climate change is caused by natural processes, such as amount of cosmic rays entering the atmosphere, which in turn is influenced by changes in the sun. In an interview on an ABC programme Counterpoint, 27 April 2009 Plimer stated: “There's a very tight correlation between solar activity and climate. That correlation is in cycles. ...

ARCTIC CLIMATE SURPRISE reported in news@nature 31 May 2006 and Nature vol 441, p606 1 June 2006. In August 2004 the Arctic Coring Expedition aboard the "Vidar Viking" drilled a 430m (1,410 ft) core of sediment from the Lomonosov ridge on the floor of the Arctic Ocean, 250 km (155 miles) from the North Pole. Scientists have now studied the organic carbon from shells and algae in the core sediment and used the isotopic composition of the carbon to calculate the temperatures of the Polar region...

ARCTIC FOSSILS INDICATE WARM CLIMATE, according to a report in Nature, vol 425, p388, 25 Sep 2003. Richard Tedford of the American Museum of Natural History, New York and Richard Harington of the Canadian Museum of Nature have excavated a peat deposit named Beaver Pond on Ellesmere Island in Northern Canada, latitude 78 degrees North, and found numerous types of mammals including extinct wolverine, Asian badger, three toed horse and musk deer. They also found an extinct badger whose remains have... Click here for more...

...eator and His rules. Our prediction - evolution will never find a solution to the tendency of man to destroy the planet, to man's propensity for greed which is destroying the world economy, or to the lust for power which spurs politicians on to use climate to gain world power. Only when you deal with man's rebellion against the Creator - which has made us all sinners who need a Saviour will you get anywhere close to a solution for any of these problems.

...In recent weeks, articles by NASA's Roy Spencer and Bjorn Lomborg and an interview with the Institute of Public Affairs'
Jennifer Marohasy have undermined that confident Anglosphere consensus. Amazon.com's bestseller list has the three top books on climate by global warming /climate change sceptics: Spencer, Lomborg and Fred Singer. The Archbishop of Sydney George Pell, also has persisted in his long-held critique despite the climate change alarmism of his brother bishops.

AUSSIE CLIMATE CLUES FROM DINO BURROWS, according to articles in fossilscience.com and BBC News 10 July 2009. Two years ago Anthony Martin, a palaeontologist at Emory University and colleagues found bones of a small adult dinosaur and two juveniles in a fossilised burrow in south western Montana. The dinosaur was named Oryctodromeus cubicularis , meaning "digging runner of the lair" and was dated as 95 million years old. Martin is a specialist in trace fossil (tracks, burrows, etc.) and h...

...lude giant kangaroos, tree kangaroos, giant wombats, thylacines (Tasmanian Tigers) and a tree climbing lion-like carnivore named "Thylacoleo". All the giant animals and many other marsupials are now extinct, and there is ongoing debate as to whether climate change or human activity caused their disappearance. Gavin Prideaux of the Western Australian Museum and colleagues analysed the carbon and oxygen isotope in some kangaroo and wombat teeth from the cave fauna and concluded the climate was sim...

AUSSIE MEGAFAUNA, KILLED BY CLIMATE CHANGE according to articles in news@nature, ABC News Online, 30 May 2005, and BBC Online News 31 May 2005. Megafauna are large animals, such as giant kangaroos, huge lizards and a three tonne wombat named Diprotodont, that once inhabited Australia. Various theories have been put forward for why they died - the most controversial being that aborigines "launched a hunting 'blitzkreig' that wiped them out within a few generations".
